Even if you don't have a CC registered with your account on PayPal. If you have been sent cash and you have it on your account on PayPal you can spend it.
Why don't you get a credit card now Dan? Why do you have wait til you're 18? I have one
If you have a credit card in the US and you're under 18, it will be in your parent's name, not yours, so you won't build any credit. Also, to pay the bills, you obviously have to send them money which requires a bank account (checking ideally unless you have the bank pay for you).

No i can't send it as well, i do can receive money but i can't send. I do have an unverified account because i didn't added a cc but i did added a valid working bank account. My spending limit is $0, while another dutch guy i know have the same account, added a valid bank account.. didn't added a cc and he does can send money. I have emailed paypal 2 months ago but i heard nothing from them!

It's simple. I had this problem as i'm not in full-time employment yet i'm not eligable for a credit or debit card (so my local banks say). So you can't even withdraw money without adding a credit card to verify your identity. It sucks but it's worth it - in the end I just persuaded my local bank manager that i'd be receiving some income from my online work.
